Tension Builds Ahead Of Season Finale

In the Second Division South, Oriental have it all to do on what will be a fantastic finale to the season. Oriental have pretty much sealed the title, although if they get three points against AD Oeiras, they can mathematically wrap up the title.

Manager Vitor Martins, 36, has worked wonders at the Camp Eng. Carlos Salema, and his side have been top since the early rounds. But a bad streak of form last month, which included a 3-2 loss to SC Torreense, leaves CD Fatima right behind.

Fatima were the early runners of the season but Oriental took over in December and have remained there ever since. After last week's vital point at 4th place Sertanense, Oriental are the odds on favourite to take the title.

A win will guarantee promotion, but a draw and it is up to anybody to decided the title. If they do win, Oriental will enter the Segunda Divisão for the first time in their history.

C'mon you.....Orientals? Good luck for the match mate, look forward to your commentary
